A pretty town on the River Meuse in the Ardennes, squeezed between cliffs, with a citadel high above, an onion-domed collegiate church, and colourful giant saxophones on the bridge, celebrating Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone, who was born here.
Reach the citadel by cable car or 408 steps. Take a boat on the Meuse, or kayak down the Lesse river nearby. Nearby are the Caves of Han, with a safari park, and the gardens of the Château de Freÿr.
